Site Description
The 3-mile transformer site is located approximately three miles west of highway 41 on Omaha Ave. and approximately 6-7 miles east of I-5. The location is easily accessible with minimal traffic on Omaha. The power pole has three transformers attached to it, which provides power to a pump station. The only identifier that was in close proximity to the site was a power pole marker immediately across Omaha, 219 18N2. The site has a 360° exposure and is surrounded on all sides by agricultural operations. There were no signs of vandalism or suspicious activities at the site.
The site would require a power drop and mounting brackets for the sampling equipment. The brackets could be attached to the power pole. There is a turn-out at the site which would provide the operator safe access to park and to perform the filter changes and data retrieval activities.
The property at the 3-mile transformer on Omaha would provide the best exposure with the least impact due to local emissions. The property at the 2-mile transformer is equivalent to the 3-mile site, except that it could possibly be impacted by the irrigation retention ponds to the west of its location.
